Sports Executive

The Resume

    (July 31, 1958- )
    Co-founded Broadcast.Com
    Founded Micro Solutions which he sold for $30 million to Compuserve
    Purchased Dallas Mavericks for $280 million

Why he might be annoying:

    His company streamed the Victoria Secret fashion show (it crashed on most computers).
    He bought a 24,000 square foot home in Dallas, furnished only a few rooms and the rest remain empty.
    He dedicated one room for whiffle ball.
    He is known for talking out against NBA officiating and has been fined eight times.
    He was fined a record ½ million dollars for criticizing officials (January 8, 2002).
    He said the director of officials, Ed Rush, 'might have been a great ref, but I wouldn't hire him to manage a Dairy Queen.'
    Dairy Queen took it in good stride, but said that it is a lot harder managing a D.Q. than Cuban thinks and invited him to manage one for a day.
    In good humor Cuban replied: 'Actually I would love to do it for a day. I brought up DQ because I love 'em.'
    Keeping to his word, he did manage a DQ wearing a uniform with the name 'Tony' on it.
    Why Tony?, because he thinks it would be funny.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is an Indiana Hoosier fan who missed listening to his favorite team so developed Broadcast.com.
    He is a self made billionaire putting himself through college as a sales and delivery person.
    He like his team, the Dallas Mavericks, and is a maverick who wants the team to play in the latest high tech arena.
    He goes against the usual NBA owners creedo and does get close to his players.
